An Apple Watch patent suggests that foldable phones are just the beginning, with flexible wearables being next in line.
The design of the Apple Watch hasn’t changed much since the first model, but a future version might look very different, and could include a flexible screen and a digitally-customizable band. That idea comes from a patent that Apple filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in late 2019, and that was recently published, as spotted by MacRumors. The patent details an Apple Watch with a flexible screen that can bend to wrap around a wearer’s wrist.
